Chapter 60: Sedimentation, then Prison BBQ

[You used the false edict of the Heavenly Emperor to seek power. You gradually seized the management rights of the vast demon tribes in the Eastern Wasteland in a legal but brazen way.]

[You used the most outstanding human race to act as your tentacles to control hundreds of millions of demons, and thus a "country within a country" called "Heavenly Court" but actually controlled by you, Jin Bing, and your elite human cronies, appeared legally and silently...]

[Does the Emperor of Heaven know about this? ]

[He may know, or he may not know, but you understand that no matter whether he knows what your behavior means or not, the Emperor of Heaven will not take action against you now.]

[Firstly, you are clearly against the dragon and the seal, but not against the heaven. You obey the order of the emperor of heaven and only punish corrupt officials without changing the politics of heaven. From the perspective of heaven, you are even a loyal and capable official.]

[Besides, your True Immortal cultivation is too low. In this primitive world where power is determined by cultivation, it is impossible for you to overthrow the throne! ]

[Secondly, the Heavenly Court is currently firing at the old feudal group of the Dragon Clan. As the most resolute "anti-feudal pioneer", you are naturally an extension of the Heavenly Court's power. Even if the higher-ups know that you are abusing your power for personal gain, they will not start killing their loyal brothers before killing the Dragon Clan...]

[Now, you have firmly taken the first step onto the great stage of the prehistoric world. Next, you urgently need to demonstrate your superb governance skills to all the people under your rule, proving to the people that you are both virtuous and talented, and to the heavens that you are loyal beyond words! ]

[So, you quickly ordered a larger scale of assistance, with the Shouyangshan Direct Administrative Region as the core, to provide comprehensive support to all the monsters under your jurisdiction in all directions.]

[If you need talents, immediately recruit passionate young people with ideals and abilities from Shouyang Mountain and send them to the demon tribe. ]

[If you want a market, immediately mobilize the huge reserves of spiritual medicine and equipment in Shouyang Mountain and supply them to the demon market at nearly cost price. ]

【If you want an industry, you can immediately build a complete industrial chain to go there. 】

[Relying on the relatively advanced productivity and production relations of the human race, you spend money on poverty alleviation, but it is by no means a simple harm to the people to enrich the monsters. Instead, you temporarily sacrifice the interests of the human race to quickly bring these monsters, who are not much different from primitive tribes, into an advanced society.]

[The sacrifice of the human race is only temporary. Once the industries in various places become self-sufficient, there will naturally be more manpower and material resources to feed back to Shouyang Mountain. As a direct jurisdiction of the Jin family regime in the Eastern Wasteland, there will be many benefits in the future. There is no need to worry too much about a few short-term losses.]

[Of course, there will definitely be people who secretly resent you and accuse you of betraying the interests of the human race, but you believe that they will understand your painstaking efforts in the future, so you choose to bear everything alone...]

[In short, after your combined punches, the more than 100,000 small demon tribes that had just joined you changed almost every day. In just a short period of time, they were completely different from the past hundreds of years.]

[High-quality elixirs and magic weapons produced by various demon tribes, as well as various local specialties with different effects, are constantly circulating in this "country within a country". A wonderful vitality is nurtured on this land, with a vigorous vitality like the sun! ]

[The benefited demon people naturally became loyal, and their eyes seemed to light up when they talked about the selfless assistance of the human race and the chief.]

[“The chief’s kindness is greater than the sky!”]

【“The Chief is the truth!”】

[After the human race received real support, their previous resentment gradually subsided, and they began to praise their own chief. ]

[“Although I don’t understand the great chief’s foresight, his greatness needs no further explanation!”]

[“The chief is the truth! As long as the chief gives an order, it must be carried out!”]

【…】

[You just smiled slightly at this. People's praise is naturally pleasing, but now is not the time to relax.]

[Because although the goal of helping the demon race to become illiterate was achieved quickly at the cost of sacrificing the short-term interests of the human race, the human race’s regime is still very weak. The population is large, but the quality is generally low. Apart from the cannon fodder True Immortals and Celestial Immortals, even the Mysterious Immortals are pitifully few, and there is not even a single Golden Immortal.]

[Such a force naturally cannot really affect the prehistoric situation, so you are faced with an important choice. How should you develop in the future? ]

【your choice(?)】

[A: Take steady steps, improve the cultivation of the people under your rule as much as possible, and prepare to gradually seize the highest power in the Heavenly Court! B: Expand wantonly, take this opportunity, continue to respond to the Heavenly Court's anti-dragon edict, and seize the dragon clan's territory to the east! ] Quality, or quantity?
To put it bluntly, this question is about quality or quantity. Zhao Si thought for a while:

"According to the current Shouyang Mountain government, it is basically a makeshift team. On the surface, it has a huge momentum, but in fact, it does not even have a Golden Immortal. In the prehistoric world where Golden Immortals are worse than dogs and Taiyi are everywhere, it is simply not worthy of being considered a mainstream."

"So it is reasonable to improve the basic quality first. As long as there are more Golden Immortals, Taiyi, or even Daluo, the success rate of seizing the power of the Heavenly Court in the future will be much higher!"

Thinking of this, Zhao Si made up his mind and clicked on it:

[You choose option A, proceed step by step, and improve the cultivation of the people under your rule as much as possible, preparing to gradually seize the highest power in the Heavenly Court! ]

[You decided to improve everyone's cultivation quality first, and then seize power, so you began to settle down...]

[Settling...]

[Continue to settle...]

[In the 366th year of the Demonic Calendar, the Heavenly Court completely defeated the feudal group of the ancient dragon clan in the four seas. The billions of sea creatures in the four seas welcomed the turn of events. From then on, there was no longer any incident of the dragon clan bullying the lower-level water creatures. The Heavenly Emperor's anti-enfeoffment strategy achieved a phased victory.]

[At this time, a golden immortal has already appeared on your Shouyang Mountain! ]

[In the 369th year of the Demonic Calendar, the long-dead Heavenly Court launched a new anti-blockade strategy, targeting the Phoenix Clan and the Kirin Clan, the three great overlords of the ancient times. The Emperor of Heaven followed the method used to deal with the Dragon Clan and soon defeated the subordinate forces of the Phoenix Clan and the Kirin Clan one after another.]

[In the 372nd year of the Demonic Calendar, the six meetings and five movements, the three ancient overlords whose minions were wiped out finally had nowhere to hide. The Four Seas True Dragon King, the Southern Volcano True Phoenix King, and the Central Continent Qilin King all had no choice but to go to the Heavenly Palace. In the presence of hundreds of officials, they completely surrendered to the Emperor of Heaven and voluntarily gave up their positions as vassal vassals.]

[The Emperor of Heaven gladly agreed, and then appointed Heavenly Officials to take over the three major sealed areas of the Four Seas, the Southern Volcanoes, and the Central Continent. Since then, Heaven has successfully dismantled the ancient feudal order of the three tribes. No one dared to disobey the might of Heaven.]

[It is destiny. The Emperor of Heaven has sent an edict to the Eastern Wasteland. In recognition of the merits of the human chief Jin Bing in governing the local area, he has been specially promoted to the deputy of Taiyi Xingjun and is to take up the post immediately! ]

[When you received the imperial edict, you felt upset and sighed bitterly, knowing that Emperor Jun was demoting you in secret and wanted to demote your kingdom, but you had no way to stop him.]

[Because up to now, your rule has not yet established anything famous. At most, there are only a few dozen Taiyi Golden Immortals, who are unable to resist the imperial edict...]

[Even if you are unwilling, you can only be forced to go to heaven and serve as a powerless deputy under the smiling Taiyi Star Lord. ]

[Without your careful management, the human race immediately exploded and then collapsed. 】

[The human race, having lost its ideals, finally revealed its true colors, causing opposition from the vast majority of the demon race. The struggle was extremely fierce, which in turn attracted the attention of Emperor Jun...]

[In the second period, Emperor Jun suddenly realized the truth and became furious. He caught you from Taiyi Star and interrogated you. Under all the evidence, you sighed and didn't want to defend yourself at all. You pleaded guilty in court. ]

[In the 372nd year of the demon calendar, you are judged by the God of Justice and sentenced to "deceiving the emperor", "abusing power", "disloyalty", "using public power for personal gain", and "conspiracy to overthrow the heavenly court".]

[The evidence is as strong as a mountain, he should be burned at the stake! ]

[That day, Taiqing tried to save your life by force, but you rejected him bluntly, saying that you would rewrite everything. ]

【Tai Qing seemed to be thinking about something, so he sighed... Then under the sky fire, you became a barbecue in prison.】

[You died. The wrong choice led to the wrong ending... It turns out that choosing to settle down at a critical moment is a sin... Sometimes, being radical and extreme is actually the right thing to do.]

[Can we go back in time and return to the previous life option? ]
